This summer, Chris Haw will be starting an apprenticeship program on carpentry, pottery, and theology in Camden,NJ .

This summer, the apprentices would spend about 25 hours a week working either with Chris doing carpentry or pottery, possibly serving as well in a garden or in another capacity within the neighborhood. They would also spend about 10 hours a week in study and conversation on theology. The apprentices would need to raise money about $2000 for the summer, per intern. This would cover housing and most meals. If any of you are interested, please email Chris Haw at: hawchris@gmail.com ASAP.

Eastern Trip update! We took a few kids from our neighborhood to hear about the school and other opportunities to get them excited for college. Hear what they had to say.

We were able to purchase 3 houses on our block here on Potter street that belonged to an absentee landlord in New York. One of them was a house being used for drug activity. We are gutting the house to start from scratch in renovating it and making much needed repairs to the other houses (which have folks living in them!). If you would like to be a part of the restoration process, you can sign up here and we’ll contact you with more details about your specific area.
